There's an extra coat of hot wax on Pixar's vibrant, NASCAR-influenced comedy about a world populated entirely by cars. Lightning McQueen (voiced by Owen Wilson) is the slick rookie taking the Piston Cup series by storm when the last race of the season (the film's high-octane opening) ends in a three-way tie. On the way to the tie-breaker race in California, Lightning loses his way off Route 66 in the Southwest desert and is taught to stop and smell the roses by the forgotten citizens of Radiator Springs. It's odd to have such a slim story from the whizzes of Pixar, and the film pales a bit from their other films (though can that be a fair comparison?). Nonetheless, Cars is another gleaming ride with Pixar founder John Lasseter, who's directing for the first time since Toy Story 2. There's the usual spectrum of excellent characters teamed with appropriate voice talent, loads of smooth humor for kids and parents alike, knockout visuals, and a colorful array of sidekicks, including a scene-stealing baby blue forklift named Guido. Lightning's plight is changed with the help of former big-city lawyer Sally Carrera (Pixar veteran Bonnie Hunt), the town's patriarch Doc Hudson (Paul Newman), and kooky tow truck Mater (Larry the Cable Guy). The Incredibles was the first Pixar film to break the 100-minute barrier, but had enough story not to suffer; Cars, at 116 minutes (including some must-see end credit footage), is not as fortunate, plus it never pierces the heart. Trivia fans should have bonanza with the frame-by-frame DVD function; the movie is stuffed with in-jokes, some appearing only for an instant. Ages 5 and up. --Doug Thomas

Description

From the acclaimed creators of TOY STORY, THE INCREDIBLES, and FINDING NEMO comes a high-octane adventure comedy that shows life is about the journey, not the finish line. Hotshot rookie race car Lightning McQueen (Owen Wilson) is living life in the fast lane until he hits a detour on his way to the most important race of his life. Stranded in Radiator Springs, a forgotten town on the old Route 66, he meets Sally, Mater, Doc Hudson (Paul Newman), and a variety of quirky characters who help him discover that there's more to life than trophies and fame. Revved up with a sensational soundtrack, featuring Rascal Flatts, Sheryl Crow, John Mayer, James Taylor, and others, plus exciting bonus features, including the exclusive short movie "Mater And The Ghostlight," CARS is full of freewheeling fun for everyone.

Grandson wouldn't sit through it.......2007-06-13

I found the lack of people in this movie made it kind of silly. Who built the buildings, the racetrack, and the cars themselves? I thought it would have been a little bit more watchable if the cars had humans to deal and relate with. The cars could have spoke to one another on the sly so to speak.

I know this movie was for kids, but unfortunately there wasn't a lot of thought that went into the making of it. I was truly bored along with my grandson trying to watch it.

my whole family loved it.......2007-05-30

My husband and i loved it! My 11 year old son as well as my 14 month old son loved it, they were so excited about the animated cars.
The first DVD i got in the mail from Amazon kept freezing up and skipping a section, i contacted them and they sent a new one right to us.

CARS.......2007-05-25

Arrived quickly and in great condition--the kids have watched it over and over--what can I say? It's their favorite!

Good even after the 30th viewing.......2007-05-24

What is up with the obsession that little boys have with this movie? My almost 2-year-old wants to watch this 3 times a day. I've met other little boys his age with the same obsession. Even after the 10th time I saw this movie with my son, I wasn't too sick of it. I even started to memorize lines so that I had phrases to destract my son when he's cranky. Great investment. Great destraction. Let's us get things done around the house.

Pixar does it again.......2007-05-20

I've come to really like Pixar productions. Good movies, good story lines and just enough underlying adult humor to keep the parents engaged. This story is cute, one that I'm sure will be a hit with the little ones. Great animation, big star voices and a good story line that offers some life lessons. One to add to the library.
